Spammable early wall anywhere you want, early game recall, blinking stalkers, dark pylons, etc. The zerg won pretty much every battle but was just overwhelmed by the ridiculous mobility and ease of production of the P army. Even though they were at even bases most of the game, the protoss was mining at DOUBLE the rate of the zerg. Isn't the Dark Pylon not in the game anymore? | ||

Lost queens, MASSIVE DELAY on 2nd, never got 3rd up... Do people even watch the game? If we were watching Bisu vs Jaedong and Jaedong never built his second, sent 20 larva into bisu's cannnons and built a 3rd with no drones... Would you be saying Protoss imba? | ||

IN BW the warp in sits on top of the geyser unit and it looks perfect. Do that for SC2 plz. also, the photo canon shot looks a bit small. It's shrunken down compared to BW, I think it needs to be larger. PS- I liked the rolling banelings better than these fat wobbly walking ones | ||

 I absolutely love how the Zerg hatchery can just be built immediately though, instead of having to stop, look down at a 70 degree angle, and then build. Will be so much easier, delaying that 12 hatch will be a lot harder imo. I think roaches were a poor investment. Just mass zerglings into muta on this map, such short distances between base, and do toss have a lot to kill muta (aka splash)? | ||

The stalker could have a mana-pool of 10, that way it'd work EXACTLY the same as the 10 second cooldown (except it's vulnerable to emp). That's how AoX did it. Anyway, I don't care eitherway, I don't see what's wrong with cooldowns, I doubt it's on every spell. Actually, Units do have cooldowns in SC, just to a lesser extent. Look at Science vessel for example. You can't spam irad, irad, irad, you have to wait a few seconds between them. In fact every unit has a cooldown on their attacks. Look at Reaver shot, It is basically like an AoE spell that costs money and is on a pretty big cooldown with only 1 scarab being allowed out at once. Everything has different attack cooldowns/speeds, zerglings get that attack speed cooldown reduce greatly for 200/200. | ||

http://son-clan.m-rey.com/index.php?topic=66 It's 550 Mo but it's quite fast and it's definitly worth it. I kind of agree with blue_arrow: they try to please the hardcore Sc1 fan, that are a minority actually. Paradoxically, people whine because blizzard is, according to them, making a SC 1.5 rather than a Sc2, but when the game is getting a little different from SC1, you can hear those babies cry. It's a shame, but people are expecting so much from this game that you can't please them, whatever you do. For those who do not expect the game to be an enhanced SC1, for those who want an original game, the waiting is easier to bear. | ||

So far as i've noticed, it seems that in general, blizzard is trying to please everyone, and everyone is fairly pleased. It sounds like you just have a beef with the more hardcore sc1 fans. | ||
